Horseradish Havarti Burgers.

It has been hot as hell in Chicago this week. So hot that I probably could have cooked these burgers just by setting them outside for a bit. Burgers are a Summer staple so we decided to revisit them for this week’s recipe swap.

I chose not to stand outside in front of a hot grill in the 100+ degree heat but instead cooked these up inside on my cast iron grill pan. The horseradish flavor was prevalent but not overwhelming. We like things hot so I wish I would’ve used a little bit more or used a hotter variety. I also changed up the recipe just a little bit by adding some cheese to the patty itself and a couple shakes of Worcestershire for just a little extra zing.

We kept it simple as far as toppings go, just dressing it with a super ripe tomato on a pretzel bun but I was longing for a couple of cool, creamy avocado slices to tie it all together.
